Pricing side-by-side
| Tier | Scoop | Solargraf |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Unlimited seats — contact sales — Custom | Starter — Custom |
| Tier 2 | — | Small Business — Custom |
Scoop uses custom-quoted pricing (typically $250-$800/user/mo for enterprise FSM platforms); Solargraf has transparent public pricing starting at $233/mo. If budget predictability matters, Solargraf wins on transparency alone. If you need enterprise-tier features and don't mind the sales process, Scoop's custom pricing reflects the deeper feature set.
Pros & cons
Scoop
- + Native QuickBooks integration (bidirectional sync)
- + Broad feature coverage (8 core features)
- − So configurable that setting up dashboards, reports, and workflows for each team takes time
- − It is operations/field-workflow-centric rather than a residential sales-and-design tool, so it complements rather than replaces a proposal tool
- − No public pricing — sales call required for a quote
Solargraf
- + Native QuickBooks integration (bidirectional sync)
- − Reviewers report shading-analysis inaccuracy of roughly 10-20% versus competing tools and permit packs that need revisions more than half the time
- − Billing is annual-only, so there is no low monthly entry point
Implementation timeline comparison
Scoop
Not published; the vendor quotes per account, so ask for the onboarding plan in writing before signing
Solargraf
4-8 weeks self-service or with optional paid onboarding
Enterprise-tier platforms ($250+/user/mo) typically require 3-6 months with dedicated admin time, custom pricebook setup, and phased rollout to field techs. Mid-tier platforms reach operational status in 4-8 weeks with optional paid onboarding. Entry-tier platforms are designed for self-service onboarding in 1-3 weeks. Always plan for 2-4 weeks of parallel operation with your existing system before cutting over.

How long does Scoop vs Solargraf take to implement?
Scoop: Not published; the vendor quotes per account, so ask for the onboarding plan in writing before signing. Solargraf: 4-8 weeks self-service or with optional paid onboarding. Implementation length scales with pricing tier — enterprise platforms ($250+/user/mo) require 3-6 months with dedicated admin time; mid-tier platforms typically reach operational status in 4-8 weeks with optional paid onboarding.
Can I migrate from Scoop to Solargraf (or vice versa)?
Yes, but expect data normalization work. Customer records and active jobs typically import cleanly via CSV. Historical job data, recurring service agreements, and custom pricebooks rarely transfer perfectly — most shops leave historical data in the source system as archival reference rather than migrating it. Budget 2-4 weeks of parallel operation between the two systems during the cutover.
Scoop vs Solargraf: which has better customer support?
Both Scoop and Solargraf offer email support across all tiers, with phone and live chat typically reserved for higher tiers. Response time SLAs vary by tier — entry-tier customers usually get 24-48 hour email response; enterprise customers get dedicated account managers with same-day response. Read recent G2 reviews specifically for support-quality signals before committing.
Which is better for solo contractors vs growing teams?
For solo contractors and 2-3 person teams, the lower-priced option (either) typically wins on cost without sacrificing core features. For growing teams (5-15 employees), evaluate based on which platform's upper tiers include the features you'll need at your 12-18 month projected scale rather than buying for today's team size. For established 15+ employee operations, the depth of enterprise features (reporting, multi-location, marketing attribution) matters more than entry-tier price.
